Blogging again-If our government took homelessness, livable wages and universal healthcare seriously, the suicide rate would decrease.

Happy 21st of September!

Executed a pregnant mother for $20 worth of items that eyewitnesses say she didn’t even steal.

This is too much.

They desperately want to erase this! DeSantis claims he doesn’t want to teach kids that their country is “evil”. Or making kids feel “guilty”. If u haven’t done anything why feel guilty? I don’t have Black guilt every time a White person is killed! I didn’t kill them! THIS IS REAL HISTORY!

I say today is black anime awareness week

I know I've posted about them a dozen times but I'm still gonna post again.

My only correction is most of the work of the daughters of the confederacy started during the Civil Rights Movement to justify the further oppression of Black people.

Even Lisa Simpson knows this! It’s a hard pill to swallow for a certain group. For them, nobody else matters! Now they’re not trying to revise history but erase it!

reminder to:

I just would like to thank everyone who ever reblogs this so that it somehow ends up back on my dash because I usually need the reminder (especially the drinking water one)

Of all posts to see with a million notes, I’m glad it’s this one.

A friend of mine is a Black trans woman who has been facing housing insecurities for years, she has secured a place but she needs help with first months rent! Anything helps!

When I was a kid, I regularly lost reading privileges for "having an attitude" and "acting out".

It wasn't as simple as being told not to read during other activities- one of the first times it happened, I remember being six years old, watching my stepfather pull fistfuls of books off my bookshelf and throw them to the floor in a heaping mess while I cried and asked him to stop.

It was weird. Every other adult I knew described me as exceptionally well-behaved, but at home, it was the opposite, and it was blamed on "learning bad habits from that shit you're reading".

Because I couldn't read at home, I spent all my free time at school in the library, reading with my friends.

When I grew up and moved away, I realized that my family life was toxic and abusive, and the "attitudes" I was being punished for were standing up for myself, standing up for my younger siblings, and resisting actual, real-life psychological abuse. Because I'd learned from what I'd read that my family wasn't normal, not like my parents said it was, and in my stories, the heroes were the people who spoke out when it was hard to.

It is insane to me that there are students right now who can't access books. It is insane that books are being outlawed. It is perverse that we are stealing away an entire generation's ability to contextualize their lives, to learn about the world around them, to develop critical thinking skills and express themselves and feel connected to the world or escape from it, whatever and whenever and however they need.

That is not how you raise a compassionate, thoughtful, powerful society.

That's how you process cattle.

It's fucking disgusting.

Conservatives don't have any defense for their kids when it comes to actual groomers/rapists.

They can't criticize the church because then all their Old Testament homophobia takes a hit.

Conservatives would rather protect their homophobia than their kids.
